When you have one or more windows machines on the farm configuredto be in the "user" execution mode, you need to register each user's windows credentials with the supervisor. The command-line tool to do that is "qblogin". A simple GUI equivalent can also be found in:"Start Menu > PipelineFX > PipelineFX Qube! 5.4 > Microsoft Windows Login".

This is only needed to be done once initially, and whenever a user changes his/her password.

we have a mix of linux and windows workers but we want to use 'user execution mode'. I've already done qblogin and commandline submission from a windows machine works fine. However, submission from a linux client to a windows worker fails with a 'bad login' error.

I tried running qblogin from a linux client but it gives me error: ERROR: couldn't update password - are you sure it's correct?

Yes, you'll need to define the client_domain so that it matches the AD domain that the local mac user is defined in. Do your OSX users authenticate against AD?

This could be a problem when you have different users from different domains using the same machine...

We should pick up the AD domain the submitting user is authenticated in when submitting from OSX. I'll speak to the developer.

Generally no, our Mac users do not authenticate against AD. Most of our network is non-mac, so they Mac users typically just use local accounts. They have the ability to auth via AD though. I am planning to have them auth to AD for farm submission, as it will make things easier on the windows side.

You are right, it would be ideal if the domain could be derived based on current user. However, it is unlikely that two people will be logging in from the same machine for submission purposes.

having same issue, have Mac OSX, and Windows 7 64x systems, users log in as domain users. Whenever anyone tries to submit or run a job we get bad login from all computers on the farm. Any idea of what configurations I should be looking for? All jobs submitted in gui give us bad logins.
